WAM (Wireless Asset Monitoring) is a web application that allows users to monitor environmental factors at their facilities with a suite of sensors. These sensors communicate wirelessly to the cloud. Users can setup and receive alerts when specified parameters are reached. They can also create and export reports to meet regulatory requirements for their industry. The system is focused on the food service industry to monitor temperature but has many other applications.
I took over as the UI/UX designer after a few years of development on this project. When I took over the project had been stuck in the development phase. I worked closely with an external developer to finish clean up the existing UI and create the remaining flows for the project to be launched. After the application launched, I continued to provide support by working with users and stakeholders to design new features. I created wireframes and then high fidelity prototypes for new features and worked with the developers to implement the designs.
The original design of the application felt a little dated when I took over but we were not in a position for a complete overhaul. Instead we cleaned up the design by making the UI elements consistent through the application. This included creating a design system for the UI as it existed which not only made iteration in the current UI more efficient but, also laid the groundwork for a UI refresh in the future. After launch, we started with a beta phase and I conducted user interviews to better understand user pain points.
